Q: A nature photographer wishes to photograph a $28\text{ m}$ tall tree from a distance of $58\text{ m}$. What focal length of lens should be used if the image is to fill the $24\text{ mm}$ height of the film?


Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)

Ans: $OO' = +28\text{ m}$, $u = +58\text{ m}$, $II' = -24\text{ mm} = -24 \times 10^{-3}\text{ m}$, $f = ?$

$\frac{II'}{OO'} = -\frac{v}{u} \implies \frac{-24 \times 10^{-3}}{28} = -\frac{v}{58}$

$v = \frac{24 \times 10^{-3}}{28} \times 58 = 0.049\text{ m}$ (or $49.71\text{ mm}$)

Using lens formula, $\frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{f}$

$\frac{1}{58} + \frac{1}{0.04971} = \frac{1}{f} \implies f = \mathbf{0.049\text{ m}}$

Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)

Ans: $v = 2\text{ cm} = 0.02\text{ m}$, $P = ?$

(i) Longest distance ($u = \infty$):

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{u} + \frac{1}{v} = \frac{1}{\infty} + \frac{1}{0.02} = 50\text{ m}^{-1}$

$P = \frac{1}{f} = \mathbf{50\text{ D}}$

(ii) Shortest distance ($u = 25\text{ cm} = 0.25\text{ m}$):

$\frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{0.25} + \frac{1}{0.02} = 4 + 50 = 54\text{ m}^{-1}$

$P = \frac{1}{f} = \mathbf{54\text{ D}}$

Eg.3.

Q: A compound microscope consists of two thin converging lenses. The focal length of the objective is $10\text{ mm}$ and that of the eyepiece is $20\text{ mm}$. If an object is placed $11\text{ mm}$ from the objective, the instrument produces an image at infinity. Calculate the separation of the lenses and the magnifying power of the instrument.


Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)

Ans: $f_o = 10\text{ mm}$, $f_e = 20\text{ mm}$, $u_o = 11\text{ mm}$, $v_e = \infty$

For objective lens: $\frac{1}{f_o} = \frac{1}{u_o} + \frac{1}{v_o} \implies \frac{1}{10} = \frac{1}{11} + \frac{1}{v_o}$

$\frac{1}{v_o} = \frac{1}{10} - \frac{1}{11} = \frac{1}{110} \implies v_o = +110\text{ mm}$

For normal setting ($v_e = \infty$, $u_e = f_e = 20\text{ mm}$):

Separation $L = v_o + u_e = 110 + 20 = \mathbf{130\text{ mm}}$

Magnifying power $MP = \frac{v_o}{u_o} \times \frac{250}{u_e} = \frac{110}{11} \times \frac{250}{20} = \mathbf{125}$

Q: A compound microscope $17\text{ cm}$ long has an eyepiece with a focal length of $2.5\text{ cm}$ and objective with focal length of $0.25\text{ cm}$. What is the magnifying power for normal setting?


Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)

Ans: $L = 17\text{ cm}$, $f_e = 2.5\text{ cm}$, $f_o = 0.25\text{ cm}$

For normal setting, $u_e = f_e = 2.5\text{ cm}$

$L = v_o + u_e \implies 17 = v_o + 2.5 \implies v_o = 14.5\text{ cm}$

$\frac{1}{f_o} = \frac{1}{u_o} + \frac{1}{v_o} \implies \frac{1}{0.25} = \frac{1}{u_o} + \frac{1}{14.5}$

$\frac{1}{u_o} = \frac{1}{0.25} - \frac{1}{14.5} = \frac{114}{29} \implies u_o = \frac{29}{114}\text{ cm}$

$MP = \frac{v_o}{u_o} \times \frac{25}{u_e} = \frac{14.5}{\frac{29}{114}} \times \frac{25}{2.5} = \mathbf{580}$

Q: A compound microscope consists of two thin lenses, an objective of focal length $20\text{ mm}$ and an eyepiece of focal length $50\text{ mm}$, placed $220\text{ mm}$ apart. If the final image is viewed at infinity, calculate the distance of the object from the objective.


Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)

Ans: $f_o = 20\text{ mm}$, $f_e = 50\text{ mm}$, $L = 220\text{ mm}$, $v_e = \infty$

For image at infinity: $u_e = f_e = 50\text{ mm}$

$L = v_o + u_e \implies 220 = v_o + 50 \implies v_o = +170\text{ mm}$

Using lens formula for objective: $\frac{1}{f_o} = \frac{1}{u_o} + \frac{1}{v_o}$

$\frac{1}{20} = \frac{1}{u_o} + \frac{1}{170} \implies \frac{1}{u_o} = \frac{1}{20} - \frac{1}{170} = \frac{3}{68}$

$u_o = \frac{68}{3} = \mathbf{22.67\text{ mm}}$

Q: A telescope consists of two converging lenses: an objective of focal length $500\text{ mm}$ and an eyepiece of focal length $50\text{ mm}$. When the telescope is in normal adjustment: (i) What is the separation of the lenses? (ii) Where is the final image located? (iii) Is the image erect or inverted? (iv) What is the magnifying power?


Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)
Objective lens
$f_o = 500\text{ mm}$
(i) $L = ?$
(iii) erect or inverted ?
Eyepiece lens
$f_e = 50\text{ mm}$
(ii) $v_e = ?$
(iv) $\text{MP} = ?$

For telescope,

$u_o = \infty$, $\quad v_o = f_o = 500\text{ mm}$

For normal adjustment,

$v_e = \infty$, $\quad u_e = f_e = 50\text{ mm}$

(i) $\begin{aligned}[t] L &= v_o + u_e \\ &= f_o + f_e = 500 + 50 = \mathbf{550\text{ mm}} \end{aligned}$

(ii) The final image is located at infinity.

(iii) The image is inverted ($\because$ it uses two converging lenses).

(iv) $\begin{aligned}[t] \text{MP} &= \frac{v_o}{u_e} \\ &= \frac{f_o}{f_e} = \frac{500}{50} = \mathbf{10} \end{aligned}$

Q: An astronomical telescope has its two-lens space $75.2\text{ cm}$ apart. If the objective lens has a focal length of $70\text{ cm}$, what is the magnifying power of this telescope when viewing with a relaxed eye?


Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)
Objective lens
$f_o = 70\text{ cm}$
$L = 75.2\text{ cm}$
Eyepiece lens
$f_e = ?$
$\text{MP} = ?$

For telescope,

$u_o = \infty$, $\quad v_o = f_o$

For relaxed eye,

$v_e = \infty$, $\quad u_e = f_e$

$\begin{aligned}[t] L &= v_o + u_e \\ L &= f_o + f_e \\ 75.2 &= 70 + f_e \\ f_e &= 75.2 - 70 = \mathbf{5.2\text{ cm}} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}[t] \text{MP} &= \frac{v_o}{u_e} \\ &= \frac{f_o}{f_e} = \frac{70}{5.2} = \mathbf{13.46} \end{aligned}$

No.12.

Q: A telescope consists of two converging lenses. When in normal adjustment, so that the image of a distance object is formed at infinity, the lenses are $450\text{ mm}$ apart, and the magnifying power is $8$. What are the focal lengths of the two lenses? Is the image erect or inverted?


Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)
Objective lens
$f_o = ?$
$L = 450\text{ mm}$
Eyepiece lens
$f_e = ?$
$\text{MP} = 8$

For telescope,

$u_o = \infty$, $\quad v_o = f_o$

For normal adjustment,

$v_e = \infty$, $\quad u_e = f_e$

$\begin{aligned}[t] L &= v_o + u_e \\ 450 &= f_o + f_e \\ f_o &= 450 - f_e \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}[t] \text{MP} &= \frac{v_o}{u_e} \\ 8 &= \frac{f_o}{f_e} \\ 8 &= \frac{450 - f_e}{f_e} \\ 8f_e &= 450 - f_e \\ 9f_e &= 450 \\ f_e &= \mathbf{50\text{ mm}} \\ f_o &= 450 - 50 = \mathbf{400\text{ mm}} \end{aligned}$

The image is **inverted** with respect to the object because this type of telescopes uses two converging lenses.

No.13.

Q: A telescope consists of two thin converging lenses of focal lengths $100\text{ cm}$ and $10\text{ cm}$ respectively. It is used to view an object $2000\text{ cm}$ from the objective. What is the separation of the lenses if the final image is $25\text{ cm}$ from the eyepiece? Determine the magnifying power for an observer whose eye is close to the eyepiece.


Ans: (အဖြေနှင့် တွက်နည်းကြည့်ရန် နှိပ်ပါ)

For telescope, $f_o > f_e$

Objective lens
$f_o = 100\text{ cm}$
$u_o = 2000\text{ cm}$, $v_o \neq f_o$
$L = ?$
Eyepiece lens
$f_e = 10\text{ cm}$
$v_e = -25\text{ cm}$ (virtual image), $u_e \neq f_e$
$\text{MP} = ?$

Using lens formula for objective ($1/f_o = 1/u_o + 1/v_o$):

$\begin{aligned}[t] \frac{1}{100} &= \frac{1}{2000} + \frac{1}{v_o} \\ \frac{1}{v_o} &= \frac{1}{100} - \frac{1}{2000} = \frac{19}{2000} \\ v_o &= \frac{2000}{19} = \mathbf{105.26\text{ cm}} \end{aligned}$

Using lens formula for eyepiece ($1/f_e = 1/u_e + 1/v_e$):

$\begin{aligned}[t] \frac{1}{10} &= \frac{1}{u_e} + \frac{1}{-25} \\ \frac{1}{u_e} &= \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{25} = \frac{7}{50} \\ u_e &= \frac{50}{7} = \mathbf{7.14\text{ cm}} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}[t] L &= v_o + u_e \\ &= 105.26 + 7.14 = \mathbf{112.4\text{ cm}} \end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}[t] \text{MP} &= \frac{v_o}{u_e} \\ &= \frac{105.26}{7.14} = \mathbf{14.74} \end{aligned}$

Number of photons per second

$\begin{aligned}[t] &= \frac{\text{Output energy per second}}{\text{Energy of a photon}} \\ &= \frac{1 \times 10^{-3}}{3.14 \times 10^{-19}} = \mathbf{3.18 \times 10^{15}\text{ photons}} \end{aligned}$
